NPP Gov’t Won’t Stop Galamsey Today or Tomorrow – Dr. Ayew Afriyie1 min read
Dr. Ayew Afriyie, the Middle Belt Campaign Coordinator for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has indicated that the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) will not stop galamsey operators, especially ahead of the 2024 general election.
According to Dr. Afriyie who is a Member of Parliament for Effiduase Asokore, the destruction of water bodies is the doing of illegal miners brought into the country by the NDC to make the ruling NPP look bad in the eyes of the public.
Speaking at a campaign rally he added that the agenda of the opposition party was to make sure the NPP loses Parliamentary seats in mining areas.
Lashing out at Ghanaians calling for an end to galamsey to protect the country’s river bodies, Dr. Ayew Afriyie stressed that the NPP government will not stop galamsey today or tomorrow.
“They saw that we are winning the seats in the mining areas so they decided to go and import foreigners. When they brought them they told them to go and mine in the water. They want us to go and stop the galamseyers so that we lose our seats.
“We won’t stop the Galamsey operators today or tomorrow. This is sabotage to make us lose our seats in Galamsey constituencies,” Dr. Ayew Afriyie said at a campaign rally by the NPP.
